Hi Kevin,

John McGILLICUDDY wasn't a convict, he was in the convict guard, a soldier of the 58th Regiment.

He was sick on the journey (this is for the Hydrabad, though the reference doesn't mention it)

His discharge with a link to documents:

I'll have a rant about the Hydrabad/Hyderabad thing later.
